Technical | How To / Kymco People 50 sat for 4 years.

« on: June 05, 2017, 12:10:48 PM »

So my daughter was born and my 2000 People 50 sat for the past 4 years. Needless to say I didn't do anything to prep it for storage. I just rode it one day and it then it sat. A couple years back I finally drained the old gas out but that was it. I'm looking to get it going and obviously it won't start. I've recharged the battery and put it some new gas.

My plan is to rebuild the carb and I'm also thinking I should replace the fuel lines as I'm guessing they are all gummed up from sitting with the gas for two years. My question is are there any other suggestions on what I should look at? Also does anyone know what size the fuel lines are so I can purchase replacements?

Any help and suggestions are appreciated.

Technical | How To / Kymco People 50 Ignition Coil Question...

« on: August 19, 2009, 09:34:24 PM »

So I need a new Ignition coil for my 2-stroke 2001 Kymco People 50. I was looking at picking one up on ebay but they mostly seem to be for 4-stroke scooters and I don't know if that matters. This one

looks exactly the same as the one I'm replacing (the cap is a little different). Will this be o.k? I can't find any dealers near me so this is my best option. Thanks in advance for your help.

People 50 / Need Help with starting issue, Kymco People 50 2-stroke

« on: July 30, 2009, 04:21:50 AM »

Ok, I've had my 2001 People 50 for about a year now. Last month after sitting for about a month the scooter was having issues starting. After doing lots of research I decided to finally rebuild and clean the carb. Everything went well and after I put everything back together the scooter started fine. However now I have to constantly "tweak" the scooter to get it to start after sitting over night or for more than an hour or so.

My wife mainly uses it for work and she is pretty much ready to get rid of it so I need some help. It won't start (electric or kick) unless I adjust the airflow screw. I don't know any other "quick fixes" to get it to start but this always works. I've looked up how to adjust the airflow screw and throttle screw and have done everything I know how to get it right. The thing is even after I adjust everything (airflow and throttle screw ) to where it seems perfect, it still won't start after sitting over night.

What confuses me is that the airflow screw needs to be adjusted to different positions each time, its never consistent. I'm at a loss with what to do next. Once I get it started it runs beautifully and will start fine again if its within 15 minutes or so. Any longer and I have to mess with it to get it to start. So, before my wife kills me and gets rid of the bike please help me. Thanks in advance.
